Question

If their food and beverages cost $25.30 and there is an 8% meals tax, how much is the bill?

Answer 1

So since you're adding 8% to the 100% total, that would in total be 108%. You can now just multiply 25.3 by 108%, which gives you about 27.32.

The bill would therefore be about $27.32 dollars.

Answer 2

$25.30 + 8% =  about 27.32

$27.32
